By firstly exploring new worlds, and then pushing itself towards the "hacking" of human intelligence through the development of general AI, humankind has always wanted to challenge its own limits.
Although human cognitive abilities have undergone considerable evolution in terms of complexity over the centuries, it is fair to say that evolution has also led to inverse effects in certain specific cases, such as the ones of cognitive overload, paradox of choice, hyper-stimulation and silos syndrome in supply chains.
In this context, technology and AI should be a way to bring order, simplify complexity and enhance human intellectual abilities to maybe even replace them.
The paradox of humankind's desire to recreate its own intelligence in a machine (and the question itself, “What is intelligence?”) consists in the fact that this, in the end, will always be the product of our - very much human - interpretation.
And what if, instead of trying to reproduce human intelligence in machines, we analyze and value our differences to develop a man-machine collaboration based on continuous learning and feedback-loops?
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
